Would you participate is a social economicc structure such as this?
My personal belief is people should work for the betterment of one another, a system for the people by the people. A tribal mentality if you will; better described as democratic communism.

By eliminating internal markets and the notion of social-human value with the understanding that all life has value exceeding that of utility; and furthermore by emphasizing the value in ability and persistence, you can all but eliminate greed, pride, and prejudice. This is done in offering the same incentives to everyone who develops uncanny ability in any respective trade without regard to social status, creed, color, race, sex, sexual preference, or marital status on scheduled and random basis.

Furthermore democratic communism by no means eliminates the private sector, but instead eliminates the division between the government and private sector, with the exception of religion and or creed in there doctrine. Freedom in docttine leaves room for free speech and press, except, those with the intent to inflict malicious wounds regarding creed, color, race, age, sex or social status; such a social structure allows a metamorphosis to occur promoting the advancement of social enlightenment and production of ideas with insight.

Necessary goods and services should be distributed, with absolute equality, simply because a person’s contribution will ultimately allow others to do the same. We treat our children with such regard, why not our brothers and sisters?

Micromanagement in all parts is necessary, especially when financing prospective entrepreneurial endeavors. A system in which “grants” would be allotted to individuals or groups in a lottery as well as lists divided according to physical area and need. When a business is able to return the said “grant” the next individual or set of individuals would receive their grant(s). This places emphasis on the community to ensure the business is successful.

In such a social-economic system a political draft based solely on public input should be used to identify those who are best qualified for political positions. Then an election held in the democratic fashion would allow the people to select the person best suited for the position.

This system works internally as a communistic social economic structure but externally as a capitalistic market place.
@Houston, we have a problem

The incentives to excel are goods and services above what is necessary! You work hard you get promoted you get a bigger house more paid vacations, where you are not only paid for being absent but the trip would be paid for. Etc!
How did you come to that conclusion? The harder you work you get rewarded, incentives are allotted to those who show uncanny ability and persistence. This is not capitalistic! Essentially you work hard you get promoted. Necessary goods and services would be allotted with absolute equality, food, clothing, housing, school; college for those who partake in an intern work for tuition program, etc… this is communism. You work hard you get promoted, you don’t work you stay at base pay. There are people who want to be doctors because they can make a difference, people want to build houses. People who want to flip burgers! I know it sounds odd but I have meet them all.

Right out of George Orwell's "Animal Farm".

"Everyone is equal, but some are more equal than others"

But seriously, here's some of many faults with your proposal:

Where's the incentive to excel? If one gets paid whether they work or not simply because they have intrinsic value "exceeding that of utility", why work? or at least, why work hard. Why should I be a garbage collector when I can be a part time keyboard operator? (or is your government going to force me to be a garbage collector against my will?)

What of scarce or unique resources? There are five houses on the beach, and 100 people who want them. What then, a lottery? You don't think there will be profiteering by the five, or added status for those who have this resource?

Who decides what's important to a society? Would you have professional football players? How about professional broom ball players? I'm not joking. A free market system adjusts supply to demand. How would a socialist system, whose priorities are purely defined by some government bureaucrat, possibly substitute for this?

Those grants your talking about - what if the venture fails. Most business ventures do. Especially ones that have CEOs that have no incentive for profit, since they receive none. How is this grant replaced for the next "equally worthy" recipient?

There's more (many more), but I'm tired and going to bed. The nice one I earned with my skills and hard work.

Re: Additional details - Your added details are contrary to your original statement "Necessary goods and services should be distributed, with absolute equality". Your added detail now paints an internal capitalist economic structure.
